Dog Friendly Hotels on The Lizard
The Editor Says: There are so many great walks to be had in the Helston and Lizard area. Frankly, that you would need to stay for weeks to stand a chance of doing them all. In fact, pick just about any part of the coast path and you’ll have a fabulous time – one of the best can be found between Mullion and Lizard Village. Admittedly, dogs aren’t allowed on some of the most famous beaches (like Kynance Cove) between Easter and October, but there are loads that are accessible year round such as Loe Bar. Alternatively, you can always go to the Seal Sanctuary at Gweek where the underwater viewing enclosures are just bonkers.
The Old Inn, Mullion
An apt name for a building that has been dispensing hospitality to travellers for around 500 years, the Old Inn is a traditional Cornish pub offering five guest rooms. Right at the heart of Mullion itself, the accommodation is conveniently located for those wishing to explore the wider Lizard area, with places such as Coverack and Kynance Cove all within easy reach by car.
Paws Policy: Well-behaved dogs are welcome as long as they sleep in their own beds.
